SummarySo Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading is a humorous memoir about reading. Sara Nelson, editor, mother, wife, and friend decides to spend a year reading a different novel every week. She admits, in a favorite quote of mine, that she was not always a reader:
I wasn’t, in short, the kind of egghead graduate student who showed up at the publishing programs I’ve taught at over the years, kids who claimed their love of reading dated back to toddlerhood, when a book fell from the shelves onto their tiny heads and they wiped off the blood and opened the book and voilà, their lives were changed forever.

Table of Contents
- So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading is a humorous memoir about reading
- However, since she took up the hobby, it has consumed her life and now she's curious as to what all this reading really means to her.
- As a person in touch with the publishing world, Nelson also offers a unique perspective on reading.
- The most important thing to take from this book is that, as readers, we should feel free to approach books however we like and to draw connections to our own lives to make each book a personal journey.
- The dates at the beginning of each chapter do tell the reader how the year is progressing, however, I would have preferred a book with fifty-two chapters, each titled 'Week 1, Week 2' etc
- The book is a 5.5 x 8.5 trade hardcover, three piece case and perfect notch bound, 256 pages, using eight 32 page signatures.
- The back of the book jacket is the yellow color used for the ellipse around the author's name on the cover
- I have a lot of problems with the jacket design of this book. I do not understand the presence of the truck.
- Finally, the title of the book is a good choice, but I prefer shorter book titles, since they are easier to remember and tend to be catchier.
